We have shown a special form of horn which leads with a tapering arm 25' from the reproducin toward t ie rear edge of cover 21, t e horn 26 curving` .laterally and forwardly` and opening at .the front of theloover. The horn lies wholly above thel tops of records 23 so that the movement ofthe records is notinterfered with in any particular. This arrangement o the horn in the cover of the case is most convenient with our present arra. ement onaccount of the arrangement of all e operating mechanism below shel-22.

Below shelf 22 the case is divided into two main compartments and in one of the com pertinents `the operati-ng mechanism4 is 1ocated.` A suitable traine 30 is secured to the case in any desired manner, it being prefer- 'able to secure it so that an vibrations gen- @rated in the moving mec anisms will not be transmitted to the case..'-Near one end the frame is rovided with bearings 36 which carry ta le 'shaft 37. On the upper Aend on table shaft 37 is mounted a circular flat table 38 provided with a series of pock cts 89 arranged around its circumference. Pockets 39 extend vertically through the tahlc and records 23 'rest at their lowcredges on an annular shelf 40 which is formed by a plate 41 secured to the under side of the table. The apertures in plate 4l are of sufficient dianieter'to pass mandrel 42, which mandrel is made to engageably ft within the records. Mandrel 42isy mounted on the upper end of mandrel shaft 43 which extends down through bear' s 4.4 and-45.in frame 30. Mandrel shaft is of considerahlc length and rejects below frame 30 for some distance. li: is provided with longitudinal key-ways46 reaching fre' upper end to an annulargroove .7 cut at a Apoint somewhat below its center. In the up` per art of frame 30 a {ity-wheel 48 is provider with a bearing an this fly-wheel. is keyed to the shaft So as to revolve therewith but. to allow vertical. movement ofthe shaft without moving the il wheel vertically. Our inl means for e ecting tion of the flywheel to the. shaft will he considered later. This fly-wheel is also the drvingnwhee'l of the apparatus, the driving beingdone through the medium of a belt or other member 49 which connects" with a motor 50 placed in the bottom of the case. The ycontrol of motor 50 will be hereinafter explained. Below fly-wheel 48 and leadin down to a point neaigroove 47 A a. helica cove or screw thread is cut in mandrel iaft 4 3, this groove being preferably of the es same depth as key-Aways 4.6. Manara sima mechanism back and u wardlyneerA its this connec- 43 revolves in the direction indicated, right handed locking downon the top, andheli- Vcal 'groove 60 as cut so that, when engaged by 4a` stationary member, it will canse thc shaft to rise by virtue oiits own rtntion.v

The means for en ging the groove will be explaineoherein ter, together .with its `con nection and actuation with other parts of the mechanism.

Located inbarinvs in frame 30 alongside and parallel to man rel shaft 43 is a vertical guide column 70 on which a. sleeve 71 is adapted to move. Sleeve 71 carries two4 horizontally projecting arms 72 and 73, arm y 72 carrying a sefrmentallug 74 adapted to engage in ann ar groove 47 -of mandrel shaft 43, and arm 73 carrying u half nut 75 screw threaded to engage with the screw `threads on feed shaft76. Feed shaft 7G stands vertically in frame 30 and is rotated in the direction indicated by means of ear connections 77 and 78 with`mandrel s aft 43. Sleeve 71 is rotatively connected to column 70 but is slidablethereon through the medium of a novel arrangement whichV we have evolved for this pai'tioularsituation. lVe have foundA that the use of a key and slot creates so muchfriction' that consider-A able force is necessary to draw sleeve 71 to the ositionshown in the drawings citer it has geen fed downto its lowelmost position. We have therefore ado ted a mechanism comprising a vertical ro 80 which is 'supported between two horizontal arms 81 rig idly connected with column 70 at its to and bottom. Lower arm'81 is provided with an extension 82, and n spring 83 connected between the end ofcxtension S2nnd frame 30 tends to pull column ZOKand'i'od 80 around inthe vdirection indicated. -Sleevev'l carries a small. wheel S4 which rotates on rod S0 so that the sleeve is rotated to throw lug 74 and nut 75 into en gement with mandrel shaft43 and 4feed aft 76. The operation of the iarts is effected by a tripl mech` nnisnnshom; in Figs-6 and 7 and partly iu detail in Figs. 8 and 9. A. trip shaft 90 is vertically mounted in the frame and carries on its lower end a radially 'rojecting rod 9 1 which is, in elect, a cam fo lower for cam 92. Cam 9 2- is mounted on a -slceve 93 loosely surrounding the lower end of feed Shaft 76 and normally does not revolve therewith. The feed shaft is provided with an aperture 94 and a Smallspring pressed pin 95 is adapted to enter the apertnre when it is released to be pressed inwardly by its sprin 96. But it is normally held outward' y hyriding over an eccentric shoulder 97 on a small spring snp orted member 98. Member 98 is support by a spring 99 from frame 30 in such e mannert-hat it may .he pressed downwardly and shoulder 97 pressed out of engagement with head 95 of pin 95. Immediately -member 98 is 1,040,039 A l Y pressed downwnadtypinr 95 is free to be tends .to rotate ishaft 90l in the direction op pressed finto aperture' 94.-, when the aperture site to that indicated -and to consequen y comes beneath tliefend of th in' in the- 't ow follower '91 upl against --eam 92g but course of the rotation of f shaft 76. it is; 'prevented trom brewing the follower Cam92is then rotated with-the feedshaft toits nl timate'positon by nger-l12 hearing 70 and follower Slis ushed away in thedi against sleeve 71, as shown 1n Fig.- 6.

ratchet mechanism to easily rotate the table from-one position to the next.

A. means of controlln the movement of mandrel -shn t 43 is comprised in s. small ratchet device 160 mounted on shaft 121. Step bearing 132'zzt the lower end of mandrel shaft 43 carries o. pair of small pulleys 161 over which a. cord or other Cord 162 is secured at one end, ns at 163, to frame 30 and passes upwardly et its other end from pulcys 161 to and over u smell pulley 164 und thence to ratchet mechanism 160. The

ratchet mechanism, shown in detail in Figs..

-11 and 12, comprises e ratchet wheel 165 rigidly attached to shaft 121 and engcgeable by a ysmall spring pressed pawl 166. Pawl 166 is set on a wheel 167 over which flexible member 162 winds up. Below wheel 167 n stationary frame 168 splaced undone end of a spiralspring 169 is secured to' this frame, the other end of the sprin being secured to hub 167* of wheel 167. eel 167 is loosely mounted on shaft 127 and does not normally rot'ate therewith. When the mandrelshsft is lowering and wheell'?Y is being rotated in the direction indicated by reason of the movement of flexible member 162, the spring 169 is being woundnp; and

' when the mandrel shaft israised the spring will then rotate wheel167 iii-the op osite d1.

rect-ion and take up the sl'ck in ilexi le member 162. Wheel 167. ma. rotate in the direc- 'tion opposite tothat in' icated as fast as deaired; ut when it rotates in the direction indicated it. will be seen that pawl 166 engaging with rntchet 165 will prevent the wheel from rotating faster than shaft 121 if direction. Thus menas fast as flexible member 162 is let' out when' wheel 167 is traveling et the ssmegeed ofl rotation is so adjusted Y es shaft 121; and this sp Y that the mandrel shaftv is letdown quickly but without any shock to the mechanism.

We will now explain the general operation l.of the mechanism described,'leaving the explanation 'of the manuel control of the machine to be set forth later. In the drawings the machine is shown in'the position in which it will bestopped the mecha.-

Mounted on arm 125 and projectingon the opposite side of slm'ft 37 therefrom is o. proection12 which will engage with u sma of its movement, or ing' into position.

Rod 172 is pressed in the direction indicated by s spring''173 and is moved against the ressure of the ringjby the action of ever 170. Rod 1782) is pointed on its end as et 172'l (shownin Fig. 13) und this pointed end is Iadopted to engage ,withnl similarly shaped groove 1711*L in plunger 174. Plunge-r 174 is rovided on one end with e segmental ng 17 which is adapted to engage with screw thread groove in mandrel shaftV 43, and is ressed into engagement by a spring 176. Il'Vhen the parts are into position shownin Fig. 13, lug 175 is kept out of engagement with "the screw thread proeve, but when rod 172 is moved to the eft the lug.175 is pressed into engagement l lever 170 :it-the end ust as 1nble38 is comwith the mandrel thread by spring 176,
